Just bought an 89 XJ pioneer. there are no ID tags on the diffs like my 2000 has. i know its not an 8.25. i thought they only put the 44 in from 87-88 but found out tonight that they did this from 87-90. does anyone know where i can find a pic of a 44 to look at. Also, is there a site where you can punch in the VIN# and have the list of options that came with the vehicle?
Thanks in advance.

 

it could be the great and almight pos dana 35 to. those are the two rear ends they used. hear is a web site with both on it.

If you clean off the ears of the Diff, it will be stamped 35 or 44, really easy to see..

Also here's a pics of axles to ID them.....

 

thanks for the great info. going out tonight to look.

 

if you give me your vin i can tell you what every you want to know?

 

send me a private message

 

rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd ask in here . . .




I've figured out that my front is a D30, but I can't figure out what my rear is . . .

 

Rusty.

Dana 35?

 

hehehe gotta love New York winters
salty roads will do that

Dana 35? I guess it looks like it
thanks

 

Thats a Dana 35...

And ALL XJ's come from the factory with Dana 30 fronts

 

Yeah, I remember what Michigan Winters did to cars...

Looks just like mine. It's more oval than the Chrysler 8.25, not to mention mine actually says "Dana" on it.


Seriously? Mine didn't. I got screwed!

 

Not true, XJ's from South America, Africa and a few in Canada got Dana 44's.

But ya all here in the US got the D 30...
